As photographers it's very easy to fall down the deep, dark hole of gear lust; or to get lost in reams of techy info, thinking these things will make us better photographers. They may help you learn how to use the tools, but in the same way as owning a paint brush doesn't make you an artist, becoming a great photographer is about so much more.

The following video gives some of my thoughts on how to 'exercise visually', how to open your eyes to the world around, and how to become photo-aware.

I hope it inspires you to shoot more often, with more abandon, and to develop your photography as art, not science.

Your first 10,000 photos are your worst.

— Henri Cartier-Bresson

This blog shows some of my first 10,000, and the lessons I'm learning on the road to being a well rounded, inter disciplinary photographer. I am setting myself the goal of getting out there and shooting personal projects regularly (outside of my work shoot schedule), and sharing the lessons I learn along the way, in the hope that it will aid in your own journey.
